“…The urban-poor and indigenous people are disproportionately impacted by the justice system. In this regard, empirical research has confirmed this thesis (Almeida, 2017;Chaparro, Pérez, & Youngers, 2017;Cuneo, 2015;Grau & Vergara, 2021). Besides, some scholars have highlighted that most imprisoned people are serving sentences for non-violent crimes (Segato, 2007).…”

“…In the U.S., racial disparities on criminal justice contacts affect the perceptions of the justice system (Buckler et al, 2011;Muller & Schrage, 2014;Pettit & Gutierrez, 2018;Saperstein et al, 2014). In the same way that, as a consequence of mass incarceration Afro-Americans and Latinos, in the U.S., have an everincreasing distrust of the justice system, in Chile the migrant population, as a racialized and criminalized groups, showed similar patterns (Grau & Vergara, 2021;Domínguez, Grau, & Vergara, 2022).…”

“…In this vein, evidence related to the discriminatory nature of the Chilean justice system has been recently published. These findings highlighted bias against poor (Grau & Vergara, 2021), migrants (Domínguez et al, 2022) and the Mapuche people (Grau & Vergara, 2021).…”

Objectives: Mass incarceration affects the trust in the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Nonetheless, it is not clear by which mechanisms it influences citizens' trust in the CJS, beyond the prison population. This study explores the role of the perceptions of mass imprisonment and its causal heterogeneity, by racial/ethnic categories and the political orientation of the individuals.Methods: Upon a non-probability sample, obtained through an unrestricted web survey fielded in 2021 (N=1,120) we embedded a experiment to assess trust in the CJS. As stimulus we used vignettes with a 2x2 factorial design.Results: Our findings suggest that the perceptions of mass imprisonment do not significantly affect trust in the CJS. Even so, some of these effects become salient and causally heterogeneous when taking into account the indigenous identity, migrant status and individuals’ political orientation.Conclusions: Perceptions of mass incarceration have divergent and possibly cumulative effects between different groups of the population.
